Minor league team apologizes to fans for Corey Feldman retro night

A minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania is apologizing to its fans after a scheduled weekend appearance by former teen star Corey Feldman did not go the way the team had hoped.

Hoping for another successful retro night promotion, such as last year's with Alfonso Ribeiro from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," the State College Spikes booked Feldman -- star of such 1980s classics as "The Lost Boys," "Stand by Me" and "The Goonies" -- to appear at Saturday night's game.

The Class-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals was not happy with the result.

The Spikes tweeted on Monday that Feldman's appearance "was not what we had anticipated for the evening" and ended up being "so far below expectations," adding an apology "to all fans who may have been offended by its content."

Spikes General Manager Scott Walker told the Centre Daily News that Feldman's contract called for him to interact with fans, but "he simply did not want to do any of that."

Instead, Walker said, Feldman was more interested in performing with his band, Corey's Angels, which Walker described as "not exactly family-friendly."

Feldman tweeted a different version of what happened that night, calling it "the most unprofessional event I've done" and "it was like working w The 3 Stooges!"

Fans of Feldman also tweeted their support of the actor/singer and the event.

Feldman is scheduled to host the receipt-of-the-torch ceremony for the Special Olympics World Games on Friday at L.A. City Hall. Corey's Angels are also slated to perform at the event.
